Problem Child

Why won't you pay attention?
Pray every night I'll make you happy
If I'm real bad will you punish me
The contact hurts but at least you're touching me
Can't you see, can't you read, please read me, please

Hard to believe I'm your flesh and blood
Watch your mistakes swimming down my face
Jump up and down and I'll even fall
To your feet you're stepping on me
You're hurting me, you don't notice me, you're hurting me

I'm screaming, I'm breaking, I'm grieving, get angry
I'm rebelling, I'm trying, I'm losing, be proud of me
I'm sickening, I'm learning, please notice me, I'm your baby
Am I all you hoped that I would be

Must be no boundaries guess no one cares
What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine to get
I'll make you listen until you're blue
The contact hurts but at least I'm touching you

I'm raping, I'm craving, I'm begging, get angry
I'm weakening, I'm regretting, I'm sorry be proud of me
I'm invisible, I'm multiplying
I'm pleading, I'm killing
Am I all you hoped that I would be

La la's

I'm crippling, I'm sobbing, I'm degrading
I know you want me
I'm deprecating, I'm demoralizing
I'm sad humiliating, I'm empty
I'm destroying, I'm guilty, I'm ashamed
I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong

Why won't you pay attention?
Hung from a rope then you'll know me
